AbstractGraft calcification after liver transplantation (LT) has seldom been reported, but almost of all previously reported cases have been attributed to graft dysfunction. We herein report two cases of graft calcification without liver dysfunction after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Two patients who underwent LDLT were found to have graft calcification in the early postoperative period (< 1 month). Calcification in the first case was found at the cut edge of the liver at post-operative day (POD) 10, showing a time-dependent increase in calcification severity. The second patient underwent hepatic artery re-anastomosis due to hepatic artery thrombosis on POD4 and received balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration of the splenic kidney shunt due to decreased portal vein blood flow on POD6. She was found to have diffuse hepatic calcification in the distant hepatic artery area at 1-month post-operation followed by gradual graft calcification at the resection margin at 6-month post-operation. Neither case showed post-operative graft dysfunction. Calcification of the liver graft after LDLT is likely rare, and graft calcification does not seem to affect the short-term liver function in LDLT cases. We recommend strictly controlling the warm/cold ischemia time and reducing the physical damage to the donor specimen as well as monitoring for early calcification by computed tomography.

Donor Liver Transplantation

Abstract Liver transplantation for patients with atrial septal defect and pulmonary artery stenosis, causing high right atrium pressure, raises concerns about embolism in systemic vessels during reperfusion of the donor liver graft. Temporal atrial septal defect occlusion by a catheter is a simple and easy method of preventing the complication.
